Ranks · Ascend
Ranks in Ascend are a real-life levelling system: 9 ranks from Beginner to Master, climbed with the points you earn from habits, workouts, reading and the rest. It is free, and the ladder starts again every 90-day season, so a newcomer and a long-time member race from the same line.
This page also covers season points, which decide your rank, and streaks, which show how many days in a row you have kept something going.

Each rank begins at a set number of season points. Reach it and you move up straight away; the Ranks page shows how far you are into your rank and how many points the next one needs.

Your rank comes from your season points: everything you earned since the current season started, minus anything you lost to missed habits or bad-habit slips. There is no lifetime total behind the rank, and the season score never drops below zero.
Every page adds to the same score, each with its own daily or weekly limit so no single page can carry you.
| What happens | Points |
|---|---|
| Habits from the library | up to 10 a day |
| Resisting bad habits | up to 6 a day |
| Workouts | up to 10 a day |
| ReadingPlus 15 points for a finished book that qualifies. | up to 10 a day |
| Skill practice | up to 10 a day |
| Focus sessions | up to 10 a day |
| Following your time blocks | up to 5 a day |
| A journal entry | 2 a day |
| Weekly goals and the weekend reflection | up to 20 a week |
| Recovery milestones | up to 85 a season |
| Missed library habits, slips, unlogged bad-habit days | lose points |
When a season ends, everyone goes back to Beginner and the new season’s points start from zero. Your finished season is kept: its score shows in Past seasons on the Leagues page and on your profile.
Each time you reach a new rank Ascend shows a short rank-up moment, once per rank per season. Dropping below a rank and climbing back does not show it again.
A ladder that never resets turns into a record of who joined first. Starting again each season keeps the top within reach for anyone who shows up.
Your rank, your season points, the share of the way to the next rank, the points still needed, the time left in the season and your latest point changes.
Next to your name in every league table, on your profile, on the partner card and at the bottom of the app’s sidebar.
A streak counts the days in a row you did something. Each habit has its own, and so do exercise, reading, skill practice and each bad habit you resist. A streak stays alive while your last day is today or yesterday, so you have until the end of today to keep it going.
Your headline streak, shown on your profile and to your partners, is your longest running one. Streaks earn no points on their own: the points come from the ticks and logs that build them, and a streak is the part you can see.
Everyone begins at Beginner. Your first 200 points make you a Starter.
